This Sun BluePrints article gives detailed procedures for configuring Sun x64 workstations with AMD Opteron processors to boot
more than one operating system from the same physical hard drive. This capability is referred to throughout this article
as âmultiboot.â Specifically, the three major operating systems in use today â the Solaris Operating System, Linux, and Windows
operating systems â can be deployed on a single system disk, and configured to allow a user to choose between the different
operating systems at boot time. Multiboot capability should not be confused with available virtualization technology that allows
simultaneous operation of multiple operating systems (such as VMware, Xen, or other approaches).
